Affected: Alpaquita:25: linux-lts, Alpaquita:stream: linux-lts
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: misc_minor_alloc to use ida for all dynamic/misc dynamic minors
misc_minor_alloc was allocating id using ida for minor only in case of MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR but misc_minor_free was always freeing ids using ida_free causing a mismatch and following warn: > > WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 159 at lib/idr.c:525 ida_free+0x3e0/0x41f > > ida_free called for id=127 which is not allocated. > > <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ... > > [<60941eb4>] ida_free+0x3e0/0x41f > > [<605ac993>] misc_minor_free+0x3e/0xbc > > [<605acb82>] misc_deregister+0x171/0x1b3
misc_minor_alloc is changed to allocate id from ida for all minors falling in the range of dynamic/ misc dynamic minors

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself. Security Fix(es):
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: relax assertions on failure to encode file handles
Encoding file handles is usually performed by a filesystem >encode_fh() method that may fail for various reasons.
The legacy users of exportfs_encode_fh(), namely, nfsd and name_to_handle_at(2) syscall are ready to cope with the possibility of failure to encode a file handle.
There are a few other users of exportfs_encode_{fh,fid}() that currently have a WARN_ON() assertion when ->encode_fh() fails. Relax those assertions because they are wrong.
The second linked bug report states commit 16aac5ad1fa9 ("ovl: support encoding non-decodable file handles") in v6.6 as the regressing commit, but this is not accurate.
The aforementioned commit only increases the chances of the assertion and allows triggering the assertion with the reproducer using overlayfs, inotify and drop_caches.
Triggering this assertion was always possible with other filesystems and other reasons of ->encode_fh() failures and more particularly, it was also possible with the exact same reproducer using overlayfs that is mounted with options index=on,nfs_export=on also on kernels < v6.6. Therefore, I am not listing the aforementioned commit as a Fixes commit.
Backport hint: this patch will have a trivial conflict applying to v6.6.y, and other trivial conflicts applying to stable kernels &l…
